Favorite Chapter Books for Young Girls??

My oldest granddaughters are 7 and 8. The 7 year-old especially loves to read, and devours chapter books. What recommendations do you have that your girls around this age love to read? I'm also interested in any books that are in a series.

My dd loves mysteries, and so Nancy Drew, the Bobbsey Twins (she started with these before Nancy Drew), the Mandie books. She also loves fantasy and read the Narnia series. After that she read a number of other fantasy books, but they were much bigger and I suspect most 8 year olds wouldn't read them yet unless they extremely loved fantasy. Additionally she liked the Trailblazer books by Dave and Neta Jackson, and all series by Beverly Cleary (Ramona series, Henry series, Mouse and Motorcycle series) and the Littles.
